Abstract

ac susceptibility studies of single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7−δ have been carried out with an ac field parallel or perpendicular to the surface of these crystals. The analysis of the results gives evidence for a staircase structure in which oxygen deficiencies increase towards the sample core. As a consequence, the oxygen mobility appears to be extremely anisotropic, favoring the c axis.
